Nebraska parted ways with former interim coach and assistant Mickey Joseph on Friday in the wake of his recent arrest following a domestic dispute last month, according to a statement from the athletic department via the Associated Press.
Joseph, 54, is currently facing a felony assault charge after he was arrested at a Lincoln residence on Nov. 30 for suspected strangulation and third degree domestic assault. He was taken into custody by the Lincoln Police Department at a location separate from where the incident took place, and charged the next day.
Nebraska placed Joseph on administrative leave following his arrest, though it’s unclear if he received severance pay as his contract was set to run through Dec. 31, 2023, per AP. Joseph’s next court appearance is scheduled for Jan. 30.
